And now for something completely different. Can you read this?
Well yeah, but this isn't my only stop on the internets.

I thought the same thing, Emily.

I hope hot Morrocan guy is into and your book does well. Allyson, I'll hope for those things for you since you won't hope for yourself.
So excited about the tableyness.
I HATE BEING AWAKE AND UNABLE TO GO BACK TO BED! THIS SUCKS.
Ahem.

Oh Kat, it's completely unfair that you are up.

It is! awake this early is so overrated. I'm going to go pump and then wake Katie up and go to the hospital. 5:00 AM in the NICU is a good time.

Sorry about the insomnia, Kat. I know all too well how much it sucks.
At least we've got encouring news about Teddy-cat. I haven't posted anything in the announcements because pretty much I'm still unemployed. I'm gradually cleaning off my home office desk because it's going to be my primary hangout for the next little while....
I'm learning all sorts of things about the squirrels in my backyard. Yesterday I saw one dragging a piece of rag up a tree, which was very laborious because the rag was bigger than it and kept getting in the way of its feet. Very determined squirrel. I assume this means that nesting and baby squirrels are ahead for my backyard-watching activities.

There should be a law of nature -- if a new mother is home before her newborns, she should be unable to avoid sleeping like a log. Juicy pumping to you, Kat and a good visit with your beautiful children.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Allyson, hope you enjoy hot Moroccan guy.
And, to repeat from Bitches, Teddy seems to be doing well. Eating well, taking medication without too much fuss, drinkning large amounts of water.

So far today, I have signed up for Wiscon, and checked out the route to Madison WI from my Mom's in PA. I'd better calculate the cost of gasoline for a drive like that, because I suspect it will be more than planefare, especially if gas goes up between now and the end of May, which is predicted, btw.

Theo, I've got a place for you to crash when you get here. Unless you're planning on staying wherever the con is. In any case, we need to get together. Also, gas is $2.69 around here right now. It's gone up about 20 cents in the last month. I'm not sure how much that will affect you, but just so you know.
